Janet Jackson gets behind transgender documentary

LOS ANGELES -- Janet Jackson has signed on as an executive producer of a documentary on the lives of transgender people living around the world.

New York-based Brainchild Films announced Monday that Jackson was working on Truth and would do some of the on-camera interviews. The documentary begins production this summer and will focus on the lives and struggles of transgender persons.

Jackson writes in a statement that she is working on the project to try to stop discrimination of the transgender community. The 46-year-old sister of Michael Jackson has starred in several films and won five Grammy Awards.
